Installing Solaris 8 on a SunFire 280R
The SunFire 280R has 11 external disks. Disk 11 has Solaris 9 installed.
In attempting to install Solaris on another disk, the following message appears at the command "boot cdrom" command:
krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPU
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic-boot: exit to 64 returned from client program.
Program terminated.
Do you have any ideas on how to solve this?
Is Solaris 8 (1/01) unable to installed on a 64-bit machine?
Objective: I'm trying ot have both Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on the same processor.
Thanks for your insights.
Hello,
I just wanted to point you to the Sun System Handbook page for the F280R, but to my surprise the note is lacking from the current <b>public/free</b> version !!!
This is a quote from the <b>Quick Facts</b> of a formerly public SSH
<table border="0" align="center" width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="SmallText"><b>Quote:</b></td></tr><tr><td class="quote">
Solaris 8 1/01requires specific patch installations. See 816-1712 for details.
Solaris 8 10/01 is the minimum OS for 900MHz Cu modules.
</td></tr></table>
<b>READ ME: Important Patch Installation Required Sun Blade 1000 Sun Enterprise 280R</b> is available from docs.sun.com.
The Blade 1000 and the Sun Fire 280R use the same systemboard, but a Enterprise 280R doesn't exist.
Either get Solaris 8 7/01 or Solaris 8 10/01 (for 900Mhz Cu) or a more current version of Solaris 8.
If you have a service contract, you can notify Sun (ssh-feedback@sun.com) about this omission. It's your time and money you have spent when you got stuck ...

Installing Solaris 10 on Sunfire V120 via network boot from Linux
I have been given a free SunFire V120 server loaded with and old copy of Solaris 9. The problem is that this server no longer has the internal DVD/CDRom drive any more. Google'd for finding a replacement CD-Rom drive show cost more than the SunFire V120 unit itself.
The plan: Install Solaris 10 for SPARC on Sunfire V120 Server
Available:
-- Sun Microsystems SunFire V120 Server (1GB of Ram and 2x 36GB 10K RPM SCSI3 drives)
-- CentOS 5.1 Linux Server
-- Solaris 10 SPARC DVD ISO Image
-- DB25 to RJ45 Serial Cable accessing V120 LOM via Minicom application on CentOS 5 server
Via the http://www.docbert.org/Solaris/Jumpstart/linux.html site, I have configured the following:
* NFS Server (nfs-utils under RedHat)
* bootparams server (bootparamd under RedHat)
* rarpd server (rarpd under RedHat)
* tftp server (tftp-server)
CentOS Server Settings:

On the SunFire V120 server, the console displays:

So now what do I do?
-- MichaelAnyone know where I can get the firmware (OBP) update / upgrade version 4.22 for the SunFire V120 server?
There is an old thread (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5137796) that talks of having to update your firmware 4.22.x, but I have looked through the SunSolve site and I cannot find a reference to this firmware any place for the SunFire V120 servers. -

Solaris 10 installation to Sunfire 280R ( HELP ME )
I am Windows, RedHat, and Alpha user but not the SUN.
Really really brand new userFor the SUN. I want to start to use Java.
I am installing the Solaris10 to my USED Sunfire 280R.
I am downloading the Solaris 10 from the SUN web site and buning the DVD. When I boot my system, it is not boot from the DVD, then it is stop at
Fire280r console login :
then I don't know how to do it.
Anyone know how to log in? or Sun has a default password and user name?
Help me please.
THanks in advance.
KevinI did the STOP and type boot dvdrom, then reboot the system.
But it can not install and stop in prompt.
boot: can not open dvdrom
if I type .install
boot: can not open .install
what should i do for that?
Thanks in advance. -
Problem adding IBMtape and TS3200 fibre library to solaris 10 sunfire 280R
Hi,
I have IBM TS3200 Fibre library and I’m having problems to connect it to my solaris 10 (and TSM) there is nothing in under /dev/rmt ??
Information:
SunOS tsm 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
HBA Model : QLA2310
Driver Version : qlc-20080514-2.28

There are 2 drivers and one changer and bout are seen by hardware:

c4::210000203784dff0,0 disk connected configured unknown
I have installed the IBMtape as in IBM documentation is instructed.
All commended out in st.conf, mt.conf and lb.conf.
st driver is not loadet. (rem_drv st)
there is in /devices entrys like this: (du -a /devices)
2 /devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/sgen@w2002000e11116daf,1
0 /devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/sgen@w2002000e11116daf,1:changer
What is sgen@??
So the hardware sees the library but the os dos not compute… any idea how to get the drivers working and something under /dev/rmt?You could experiment with giving OBP the absolute path to that USB device, but I doubt you'll be successful. The Sunfire 280R (same hardware as the Sunblade 1000, Sunblade 2000, and Netra 20) design expected USB to be only for keyboard and mouse, not for any storage devices. If booting ever works manually from a USB stick, then you could create a custom alias for the device.
Try an experiment by using a CD or DVD of an older release of Solaris 10 instead of the current release.
[http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/releases.jsp|http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/releases.jsp]
The earlier ones need fewer hardware resources. I also recall a few forum posts that seem to suggest the bootblock structure on the CD's and DVD's of those earlier releases was more compatible with older hardware.
You might also need to get yourself a copy of the OBP 4.x Command Reference Manual, document No. 816-1177
[http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/816-1177-10/816-1177-10.pdf|http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/816-1177-10/816-1177-10.pdf] -

It may not be safe for the system to remain in this undetermined state.
Would you like to rollback your changes ? [y,n,?]
Resolution: Top
Normally, this is the recommended action. But if the patch
that fails to install is 114877-xx or 114878-xx, then a
rollback may not be necessary.
Both 114877-xx (Solaris 8) and 114878-xx (Solaris 9) patches the following
packages: SUNWjfca, SUNWjfcax, SUNWjfcau, and SUNWjfcaux.
The packages and patches are drivers for the JNI 2GB PCI Single FC Network
Adapter and JNI 2GB PCI Dual FC Network Adapter fibre-channel that have
Sun StorEdge SAN 4.x Foundation Suite compatible FCODE.
If server does not have this type of host bus adapter, then SUNWjfca,
SUNWjfcax, SUNWjfcau, and SUNWjfcaux packages are not installed on
the system. The patch will fail to install causing install_it script
to prompt for a rollback.
For this specific situation, it is okay to respond no to the rollback
and let install_it script proceed to completion as the patch is not
required.
Would you like to rollback your changes ? [y,n,?] n

I have found the following information on the SunFire 280R stating the PCI solot one is 33/66:
PCI Slot 1 /pci@8,600000/pci@1,* 33/66mhz-32/64bit-3.3V from ( Solaris[TM]: Matrix of Recognized Device Paths, http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/Example/documen ts/21216.html )
However,Chapter 2 fot the "Servicing the Main Logic Board and Components" document ( http://docs.sun.com/source/806-4807-10/board5.htm#1976610 ) states the following ( 66 only )... Note - PCI slot 1 is reserved for high-speed (66-MHz) cards. Installing a low-speed (33-MHz) card into PCI slot 1 will affect FC-AL performance. Do not install a low-speed card into PCI slot 1.
So which is it? 33/66 or just 66 Mhz?Fibre Channel disk controller. FC-AL is Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, a networking technology that supports IP or SCSI at Gigabit or higher speeds.
http://www.t11.org/index.htm
So basically the 280R, V480/490 and V880/890 systems have a disk controller that uses FC-AL to transport SCSI protocol to the disks. FC-AL is a type of loop network, dare I say, similar in theory to token ring networking technology. Fibre Channel is an enterprise class technology mainly used to build storage area networks. SANs offer a more scalable solution for storage compared to the limitations of direct attached SCSI storage. Higher throughput can be obtained as well, currently Sun offers 400MB/s on a single channel HBA. The highest throughput possible with the 280R is 100MB/s to 200MB/s. I have never tried to configure the 280R onboard controller to 200MB/s ( not sure if it is even possible, perhaps using the HSSDC interface attached to a switch?? ), but with a X6799A installed in PCI slot 1, 200MB/s is possible. -

Thanks in advanceI have same problem at before. And I can using same hardware for install windows XP.
After, I try to using very good quality DVDROM, very quality and clearly CD install solaris 10. The problem would sometime happen.
I feel the CD have little dirty, you may not install solaris. -
Hi,
does anyone know if it's possible to install Solaris 8 on a Sunfire V245?
Regards
JArbertHello,
according to the Sun System Handbook the Minimum Supported Solaris Operating Environment Versions is Solaris 9 9/05.
Earlier releases lack the proper kernel for these systems.
You can easily verify by booting with a CD of an earlier release. It asks to enter the path to the non-existent kernel file ...

"Can't open boot device" mesage when installing Solaris 10 by cdrom
I am getting the following error message when I try to install Solaris 10 from cdrom:
"Can't open boot device."
The system I am trying to install to is a SunFire v100.
The boot command I am using is:
ok boot cdrom - nowin
I have used this cd to successfully install several other v100s without any trouble. I have tried another cd and get the same behavior. I have also tried installing another v100 and get the same error.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Please check the "cdrom" alias.

Sunfire 280R and Remote System Control (RSC)
I have a sunfire 280R machine, and I was wondering if RSC can be loaded onto it. The sunfire page says that it can, but the RSC page lists much newer models as system requirements for the software.
Also can anyone tell me if the RSC provides a windowing environment for the machine (i've been trying to figure out how to get remote access to a linux windowing environment without much success. I've installed cygwin/x on my windows computer)
Thanks!Hello,
as the name implies the RSC allows to control and monitor the system from remote via serial or ethernet.
The lastest version can be downloaded from
http://www.sun.com/servers/rsc.html
I'm running RSC 2.2.3 on an E250 (the F280R and the other systems listed on the above page are supported as well).
Also can anyone tell me if the RSC provides a windowing environment for the machine. (i've been trying to figure out how to get remote access to a linux windowing environment without much success. I've installed cygwin/x on my windows computer).
No, it just the client/server application to communicate with the RSC hardware.

No OK prompt RSC PGX32 Sunfire 280R
This is a bit chicken and egg.
I have just installed a second hand PGX32 graphics into a sunfire 280R that has previously been administered by RSC. How (please be verbose) do I get the server to output to the graphics card? I don't know how to get to the OK prompt using RSC to turn off RSC! I also have a USB keyboard and mouse. I am using the RSC gui client on windows and connecting to RSC using ethernet. Telnet to RSC works but I assume I can't telnet to the OK prompt?
Thanks,
Tim.Yes, you can telnet to the ok prompt.
Once you are the rsc prompt type "console" to get to the ok prompt (assuming its not booted).
If its booted, you'll need to type "break" first.
Type "~." to get back to the rsc from the console
Personally I would leave the console on the rsc as its the most useful configuration for remote management.
But if you do want to change it, you need to do
setenv output-device screen
setenv input-device keyboard
Alternatively, you can do the same thing from the os level using the eeprom command. -
Error while installing Solaris 10 using Solaris CD
I'm getting an error while installing Solaris 10 in an Ultra 10 box.
I have Solaris CDs (Total 4) and I have installed Solaris 10 in a Ultra 250 box , I did not get any problem. That means CDs are fine.
But when I try to boot the CD 1 from bootPROM mode by giving the following command
ok boot cdrom
I get the following error :
rebooting with CD command boot cdrom
boot device : /pci@1f, 0/pci@1 , 1/idi@3/cdrom@2 ,0:f file and args
Cant read disk label
Cant open disk label package

Cant open boot device
Then the box boots up with Solaris 8 which it has now..
Can anyone please help me to solve this issue ?
ThanksWith the above information , I just wanted to tell you that the CD rom is getting detected as i can view all files in the CD.,,

Step by Step Guide to Install Solaris 10 11/06 With Windows XP on x86 PC
hi everyone
here is how I fixed my dual boot & internet connectivity failure problems. I'm explaining in detail to help any Solaris newbie (like me) having same problems: ( as I didn't find any REAL Help thru Sun Help Documents / Pages )
My special thanx to " Phil Brown " ( who helped me alott on this )
First to get rid of Dell's Diagnostic Partition & System Recovery Partition I re-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition & at installation I made 4 Partitions of my Dell 9150 ( x86 Intel Pentium Dual Core ) 238 GB Hard Drive.
(1) C: 100 GB for Windows XP ( NTFS )
(2) D: 80 GB for Solaris 10 ( RAW )
(3) E: 50 GB for Linux ( RAW , which I haven't installed yet )
(4) F: 6 GB (RAW)
(5) G: 2 GB Un-Allocated Space
Restarted PC after Win XP installation & installed Partition Magic 8 . In PM8 I formatted Solaris partition as FAT 32 (at Solaris installation it changed to Solaris format) & Linux as Linux EXT 3 . Rebooted the PC. I Started Solaris 10 11/06 installation from the DVD I burned from Sun downloads.
Here's how I installed Solaris 10 11/06 :
(1) On the next screen after "Loading Stage 2 ... " I selected " Solaris "
(2) Selected " Solaris Interactive (default) installation
(3) Hit "enter" to accept proposed Windows configuration screen it displayed
(4) Selected 0 = English as language (you need to take cursor into white window so you can type 0 into it, otherwise u can't)
(5) hit NEXT
(6) Selected "Networked" option
(7) Selected YES to "Use DHCP for e1000g0 ( Intel Pro/1000 Network Adapter )
(8) Selected NO to "enable IPv6"
(9) Selected NO to "enable Kerberos"
(10) Selected DNS as "Name Service"
(11) entered " f.root-servers.net " as Domain Name
(12) Server's IP address : 192.5.5.241 ( you can choose the one that closest to you by visiting http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/ops/f-root/ )
(13) Search Domain: Left all boxes empty ('coz when I tried to put any IP's into 'em, it generated " SysidgenSyserr " and have to re-start installation )
(14) Geographic Continent / Country / Region: Americas > U. S. > time zone
(15) hit NEXT on Date & Time Screen
(16) Entered password twice
(17) Selected YES to "enable Remote Services"

It took me few allnighters to figure these out, I hope these will helpful to Solaris newbies like me. Still I can't figure out ... How to install any software (obviously designed for Solaris 10 (x86) ) onto Solaris, but thats a different issue.

It might not be supported, but it works fine for me on my thinkpad :-) .
redhat/solaris/xp.
You can't just use the linux grub, though, because it won't understand
solaris 'slices within partitions'. You need to get Solaris to install
grub itself (in fact, you can't stop it doing so, which is rather unfair),
and then add in the linux * xp entries to Solaris's /boot/grub/menu.lst
(== grub.conf) to get it to pick up fedora & xp. Chainloading xp worked
fine for me. Chainloading RHEL4/5 doesn't, so I had to cat the grub.conf
from red hat on to the end of solaris's menu.lst. Stick red hat's grub.conf
on a USB pen or just write it down before putting Solaris on, otherwise you'll
have to boot linux rescue of a red hat CD in order to get hold of it after
Solaris's grub takes over.
